Seasonal Contract vs. Per-Plow Pricing: Which Snow Service Plan Is Right for You?

What’s the difference?

Two main options exist:

• Per-plow: pay each time your driveway is cleared.

• Seasonal contract: one flat price for the season, no matter how often it snows.

At 541 Realty Services, both options are available. That gives homeowners and property managers flexibility.

Pros and cons of per-plow

✅ Only pay when it snows

✅ Good for mild winters

❌ Costs spike in heavy snow years

❌ No guaranteed budget predictability

Pros and cons of seasonal contracts

✅ Fixed, predictable cost

✅ Priority service every storm

✅ Peace of mind in harsh winters

❌ Pay even during light winters

Which one should you choose?

Ask yourself:

• How often does it snow in your area? (In Connecticut, around 35–50 inches yearly.)

• Do you prefer predictable costs, or do you want to gamble on a light season?

• Do you own a long driveway or commercial lot? Seasonal usually wins there.
